Sarkic has already left and signed for Wolves. Drinkwater has, thankfully, fucked off back to Chelsea and Pressley plays for the Bottling Bees.

I thought Drinkwater's loan had been extended? Yes, I forgot about Sarkic. Must pay closer attention.

Heaton, Nyland, Engels, Guilbert, Mings, Grealish, Luiz and McGinn all stay. Everyone else get rid. Honourable mention to Trezeguet for those late goals but he can join the rest of them out the door for the simple fact that they just weren't good enough. Suso's been shown the door for a reason.

Loans end when the season finishes. He's Chelsea's problem now.

Everyone else? Even the up and coming U23s such as Archer, Vassilev, Ramsey and Barry?

Goalkeeper is the tough one as it all depends when Heaton and Steer are fit. If they were both fit i'd bin the other 3 and go with the U23 keeper and/or get a young prospect in to comepte at U23 level and be 3rd choice. Kalinic is shit, Reina is heading that way and Nyland we could probably get a few million for so may as add tat to the transfer kitty.

But if both are a way off fitness wise I guess we'd have to bite the bullet and keep Nyland or loan in Reina again, or preferably loan in someone that isn't in decline.

So two goalkeepers and six outfield players, means another...twelve new signings?

Gotcha.

Gotcha.

that's the minimum, 5 more if we want a full squad, 3 signings a week for the entire summer, seems reasonable and not at all a ridiculous over-reaction.

I think Steer, Elmohamady, Targett, Hourihane can still be useful squad players. I think Hause, El Ghazi, Nakamba, Wesley, Samatta and Trezeguet can improve after having this season under their belt. Jota can go, on occasions at Small Heath he looked their best player but that isn't saying much. On other occasions he was all fart and no shit and that was in the Championship. He isn't Premier League quality in my opinion. We just need a few top quality signings who will be regulars. There is no point weakening the squad but getting rid of decent fringe players who will be needed at some point as cover.
